Olive-green or ochraceous ; differing principally from the pre- 

 ceding species (2i. humendis) by the lateral angles of the pronotum, 

 which are slender, acutely pointed, their apices very slightly 

 recurved, black, or very coarsely blackly punctate ; lateral margins 

 of the lateral lobe of head profoundly blacJv ; connexivum unspotted, 

 the segmental angles only black. 



Length 20 to 24; breadth between pronotal angles 16 to 18

Greenish or ochraceous, thickly and somewhat finely punctate, 

 apex of scutellum much more obsoletely punctate ; lateral margins 

 of head and margins of central lobe black ; pronotal spines much 

 as in i?. sei-rafus, connexivum with the segmental augles black. 

 Other characters generally as in II. serratus, from which the present 

 species also diifers by its smaller size and shorter rostrum, and 

 by the lobes of head being equal in length. Abdomen above 

 ochraceous, the apical area from about apex of scutellum purplish- 

 black.
